26.He longed after you. It is a sign of a true pastor, that while he was at a great distance, and was willingly detained by a pious engagement, he was nevertheless affected with concern for his flock, and a longing after them; and on learning that his sheep were distressed on his account, (154) he was concerned as to their grief. On the other hand, the anxiety of the Philippians for their pastor is here discovered.
